The absence Of any known motive for DIR.

mysterious one and left the police without any
clue by which he could be traced. None oil MS
many acquaintances had seen him after he lett
his home. and his supposed lack OF money led
his relatives to believe that he could not have

BILE explanation Of his disappearance.

the large cities Of the country. His brother ana

tian Association in Richmond.
From all the Dispatch can learn the
story of DR.. Roy's wanderings has never
been told, and there is believed to be
good reason for keeping it secret.
The Herdld OF yesterday said:
Dir. T. 4. Roy, who recently disappeared from
his home in this city, arrived in New York yes
terday morning, accompanied by his wife and
his brother
Mr.. James b. Roy said last evening to a
Herald reporter tha, he had found his brother
perfectly sane. but very III and weak. The
Doctor did not appear 10 know where he had
been since leaving home. aud could give no
account either Of his vandefings or OF mis- rsa-
son for going. When found he was suffering
from chils aud fever, which had probably pro-
duced the delirum in which he went away.
II is said TO be not uncommon for person to
become deiirious in a malali ial illness before
the symptoms OF fever have become clearly
recognizable.
Dr.. Roy s siill in "A very hgh-strung excita-
bic condition. and the fact that so much pub
licity had been given 70 his Disappearance
made him very sensitive and for this reason
only Mr. Clarke was retcont 10 reporters in
Richmond, aud refused to let any OF them see
him.
Mr.. james B. Roy told HerdH reporter last
evening that DR.. 10y and his wife had gone
into ihe country Immediately on arriving here
10 take the rest he needed, and 10 get the pure
cir and quiet necessary 10 shake OF the Inala-
tinl fever. Under skilful medical advice and
good nursing II was hoped that Dr.. Roy would
lc able 20 resume his practice in three or four
weeks. He bad not shown the slightest symp-
toms of insanity. and his deliium had been no
moro than that which ottcu attends illness az.
